I've been too busy writing to write. So, I'm back and committed to blogging again. Several topics on my mind, 1) Form, function and philanthropy; 2) global giving, 3) race and equity and philanthropy; and 4) what's going on with media and the web and does it have anything to do with philanthropy? I'll be back with something to say on each of these topics.

About me

Why is this blog called Philanthropy 2173?

This is a blog about the future. The year 2173 seems sufficiently far enough in the future to give us some perspective. As sure as we are of ourselves now, talking about the future - and making philanthropic investments - requires that we keep a sense of modesty and humor about what we are doing. Philanthropy is for the long-term - for the year 2173.
